Help with my car insurance costs!?

As of January of this year, I was laid off of work, and haven't found work since, constantly applying and everything. I finally found a job, though seasonal, but pays very good, and is 40 hours a week. My car insurance has been on hold since I got laid off, and even though when I put a hold on it, I owed 400 out of the 1200 my insurance costs, now that I want to take the hold off, they want another 1000, and another 1000 in December. There is just no way I can afford this and college at the same time! I can't find a ride, and the nearest bus stop is over 5 miles away. Any advice on lowering the cost of this? I have State Farm by the way.
